    ...so where are you having the wheels widened? Cost? Are you going to have to get out the BFH on the inner wheelhouse for clearance?

    Weldcraft who charges about $250.

    I think with the Razors I can go to 11" without any mods. 11.5 will require cutting bump stops or replacing them with FRPP and possible remove dust cover on rear shocks.

    I'm still undecided ... not sure the extra 1 or 1.5 inches of tire on the road is worth $1200-$1500?!?!

    Glad you are sticking with the Razors. Weldcraft did some widening on a friends GTO. They do some very nice work.

    Tough decision... I'd had planned to widen my Razors as well. Now I'm thinking about widening my OEMS and re-installing them. Someone over at TS is running 325s; and the only mod necessary was removing the dust covers. Indecisions...

    Razors widen'd look pretty good. I know 08Snake has some that were pretty wide out back. Not sure if he had'em widen'd er not, I think he had bought'em like that thou.

    That would be great!

    Do you have any idea what your offset is on your rear wheels?

    Again appreciate the PICS!
